Here's the truth of the matter…the Miami Heat have been playing terribly lately. On a West coast road trip they dropped three losses in a row and lost Dwayne Wade in the process. Chris Bosh also told GQ magazine that in a tied game in closing seconds he would give the ball to Wade over James…not good for team chemistry. And, while watching the Denver/Miami game, I could not help but...

The New York Knicks and Miami Heat are arguably two of the best 3 teams in the Eastern Conference, at least on paper. After two competitive games against those teams have concluded in loses the Boston Celtics have put the rest of league on notice.
The Celtics will not concede the Eastern Conference without one hell of a donnybrook. Normally a 0-2 start would be reason for panic in, but the tr...

Conventional wisdom coming into Thursday night's NBA Draft was that the Miami Heat would be selecting a point guard. Team sources indicated earlier in the week that if all things remained the same (with their pick) they would most likely draft a general.
Things didn't exactly remain the same but the mission was still accomplished.
Miami found a willing and familiar partner in the Minnesota Timb...

It was a 1980 movie titled The Gods Must Be Crazy. Set in Africa, it told the story of a lone Coke bottle falling from a plane into the possession of a bushman (Xi) who believed it had been sent by God (Wikipedia).
Though written as light-hearted comedy, who’s to say The Creator doesn’t at times work in such mysterious, subtle ways as a soda bottle dropping from the sky?
Following that li...

I could read that title for days…and I may never come out of this haze.
The Dallas Mavericks entered game 6 with a 3-2 lead in the series and a chance to take home the Larry O’Brien Trophy. I knew that this Mavs team would step on their throats in game 6, knowing that the savvy veteran laden Mavs wanted to have to play a game 7 in Miami. Everyone was eagerly awaiting the start of this ...

Game 3 felt a lot like game 2 except that the Mavs fell 2 points short of the Heat. Dallas did cut down on the turnovers and rebounded better than in game 2, but it wasn’t enough to get the win. The Mavs played from behind most of the game again and went on one of their 4th quarter comebacks that we are so accustomed to by now. The absence of Haywood was a big blow to the Mavs defensive and r...

The Dallas Mavericks pulled off yet another furious comeback in the 4th quarter. The Mavs trailed by 15 after Dwayne Wade hit a three from the corner then held his follow through for the sculptor sitting behind the Mavs bench…Oh there was no sculptor I’m told. The Mavs then started to sure up things on the defensive end of the court, make shots and take advantage of a Heat team that had obv...

Game one of the NBA Finals was not a great one if you are a Mavs fan. But the Mavs had previously won each game one in each of their previous series and this is also the first time that the Mavs have trailed in a series this postseason so we got a little spoiled. But it’s also not concerning to me nor should it be. The Mavs have to deal with exactly what they thought they would. A very athlet...

After a season of change in the NBA, the older teams showing their age (Lakers, Celtics, and Spurs) while the younger teams vaulted into the forefront (Thunder, Grizzlies, and Bulls). The Conference Finals are here, and with Game 1 gone in the East it looks like we've finally gotten what we've wanted all year: A villain and a hero.
Only Oprah has the power to reschedule a Bulls game in Chicag...

First and foremost congratulations are in order for the Miami Heat. They have been criticized, laughed at, and flat out despised by most of the league. Miami did a difficult thing and that was defeat the class of the Eastern Conference in the Boston Celtics. The final score shows a Heat win by 10 points but the majority of that cushion came in the final moments when the game was decided. The se...

The Boston Celtics knew that they needed to win Game 4 to make Game 3′s win more than just cosmetic. For the better part of Game 4 it looked like Boston would be heading back to South Beach with a 2-2 tie in the series. Looks would again prove to be deceiving as another 4th quarter offensive drought would seal the Celtics fate in a 98-90 loss in over time. The Miami Heat's 3 superstars ...

Going into last week’s draft one thing was clear, the Dolphins offense needed a serious jolt of energy, and from the looks of it the organization felt the same way. The team’s first four picks were offensive players and three out of those four were skill players. Surprisingly though none of the six players the Dolphins will find himself under center, but they sure...
